• Each of our kayaks are tandem (made for 2 paddlers). However, the seats are removable and if you have an odd number of paddlers in your party we are able to accommodate the kayak as a single.
• Keep in mind, the same 250 pound PER person weight limit still applies even if taking a kayak out as a single.

Trips that are canceled by Get Up And Go Kayaking due to inclement weather, will be rescheduled or refunded.

All sales are final; however, we do offer Trip Protection at Outer Banks locations for 10% of the ticket price to allow you to cancel for a full refund for any reason up until 24-hours prior to the trip time.

No-show participants will not be refunded. This includes showing up with less paddlers than the original amount booked for.

Get Up And Go Kayaking will not launch in unsafe weather conditions. Because of this, trips may need to be canceled or rescheduled due to safety issues. If this is the case, your reservation will be refunded in full (if it has already been paid).

We will not be held responsible for any reservation that you fail to keep due to any unforeseen circumstances. We also reserve the right to change or cancel any tours due to circumstances beyond our control. In this instance, Get Up And Go Kayaking can refund the tour price, not any other expenses that may have been incurred.

• Dogs are allowed at Bodie Island Lighthouse and must always remain on a leash.
• If taking a dog on a kayak tour with us, please keep in mind that the weight limit including you, your dog, and any other riders in the kayak, must not exceed what is allowed which is no more than 250 pounds per seat in the kayak, and no more than 425 pounds total per all kayak riders.
• Please be aware that the kayaks do not provide any shade while out on the water. So while we do allow dogs, we do not recommend bringing your fur animal on high heat days.
• Please also be aware of the other wildlife that call the Outer Banks home when considering if you should take your dog with you or not.

YES! Our weight limit is no more than 250 pounds per person and no more than 425 pounds per 2 people that are in the same kayak.  All of our kayaks are double kayaks. Unfortunately, our kayak manufacturer has given us this strict limit of 250 pounds per person and we cannot exceed this limit.

Tips are greatly appreciated. We like to say, “If you enjoyed your ride, tip your guide!”
Standard US gratuity is 20%!

We cannot guarantee wildlife sightings on each tour we take out. However, your tour guide will do their best to go to the areas where the wildlife is typically most active.

Alcohol is not allowed on any of our tours.
